Fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah have been eagerly waiting for the return of the iconic character Dayaben for a long time. The role was originally played by actress Disha Vakani who has been absent from the show for the past seven years. Recently Disha’s on-screen and real-life brother Mayur Vakani spoke openly about her absence from Asit Modi’s show. He clarified that she will not be returning as she is currently busy taking care of her children. Why will Disha Vakani not return to Taarak Mehta? Mayur Vakani a.k.a. Sundar told ETimes I have seen her journey closely as I am two years older than her. One thing I’ve realised is that when you work with honesty and faith you receive God’s blessings. She is truly blessed but at the same time she has also worked very hard. That is why people have showered so much love on her role as Daya. He further said My father always taught me the right way that even in life we are actors. Whatever role we are given we should perform it sincerely. We still follow his teachings. Currently she is playing the role of a mother in real life and she is performing that role with full dedication. I truly believe this was always in my sister’s mind too. Disha Vakani who became popular with the role of Dayaben went on maternity leave in 2018 and has not returned to the show since then. Just a few months ago Asit Modi confirmed in an interview to News18 that Disha will not be returning to this popular sitcom. The producer of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Asit Modi had said It is difficult for her now (to return to the show). For women life changes after marriage. Working with small children and managing the house is really a bit difficult for them. But I am still positive. I feel somewhere that god will do a miracle and she will return. If she comes then it will be a good thing. If for some reason she does not come then I will have to bring another Dayaben for the show.
